Kaleido-X16
Hardware Description & Installation Manual
Monitoring the Temperature of the Kaleido-X16
For optimal performance, it is strongly recommended that you operate the Kaleido-X16
multiviewer in an environment with an ambient temperature between 0 °C and 40 °C.
IMPORTANT
When measuring the ambient room temperature, take your readings from
directly in front of the Kaleido-X16 frame.
There are two factors that could influence airflow inside the frame: altitude and airflow
obstruction on the sides of the unit.
Power Supplies
Power supply for the Kaleido-X16 frame
The Kaleido-X16 frame is powered by dual redundant, current-sharing power supply units
(PSUs). The PSUs are installed and removed from the front of the frame and are hotswappable, so that a defective supply may be replaced without removing the Kaleido-X16
frame from service. When facing the front of the frame, the PSU on the left side is referred to
as PSU A and the PSU on the right side is PSU B.
IMPORTANT
If your frame has only one PSU, it must be installed in Slot A (left side of
frame)
There are two power supplies: an operational PSU and a redundant PSU. The
system operates with a single PSU. If you choose to have only one PSU
installed in your Kaleido-X16 frame, you should do the following:
• Clear the PSU B Installed check box for this Kaleido-X16 frame in XAdmin
(see the “Configuring Power Supply Redundancy on the Kaleido-X16”
section in the Getting Started chapter of the Kaleido-X User’s Manual).
• Install the single PSU (PSU A) in Slot A (the left side of the frame when
facing the front of the frame) (see Installing a Power Supply, on page 8).
Access the power supplies by removing the front cover of the frame. Viewed from the front
of the frame, the PSUs are located on the left-hand and right-hand sides of the frame:

Removing a Power Supply
To remove a power supply
1 Open the front cover of the frame and locate the power supply (PSU) you would like to
remove (either the left or the right side).
2 Pull on the handle on the right side of the PSU and pull the PSU out of the frame.
Installing a Power Supply
To install a power supply
1 Position the power supply (PSU) in front of an empty power supply slot in front of the
frame, with the connector end towards the frame and the PSU handle on the right side.
2 Slide the PSU into the empty slot, moving it gently until it contacts the sockets at the
rear of the slot.
3 Push firmly but gently on the PSU faceplate until the PSU’s connectors have mated with
the frame's sockets, and the PSU will go in no further.
Powering up the Kaleido-X16
Separate AC power sockets serve the two power supplies. On the rear of the frame, connect
both power sockets of the Kaleido-X16 to an appropriate power source using the supplied
power cords.
As seen from the rear of the frame:
• The left power socket is for PSU B.
• The right power socket is for PSU A.

Power socket for PSU A
IMPORTANT
• A Kaleido-X16 multiviewer can draw 4.0 amps of current. Ensure that the
circuit to which the frame is connected can handle that load, and that of
any other connected devices.
• If you only have one PSU, make sure you plug your power cable into the
power connector on the right side of the rear connector panel (as you face
the rear of the frame). This should be on the same side of the frame as the
one PSU you have installed. If you do not do this, your system cannot draw
power.
• If you have two PSUs, make sure you plug in both power cables into both
power connectors of the rear connector panel. If you do not do this your
system cannot have PSU redundancy.
To power up the Kaleido-X16
1 Plug the power cord(s) from the Kaleido-X16 into a grounded power outlet.
2 Push the power button at the front of the frame (behind the front cover).
Power button
The startup sequence takes a couple of minutes, during which time some video may
appear on the displays. The startup is completed when the CPU LED is solid green.
Ventilation
The Kaleido-X16 multiviewer is cooled by ventilation intakes located on the front of the
frame. Fans are located in key positions within the frame:

Kaleido-X16 Installation
Ventilation
Air flow through the Kaleido-X16 frame
Frame Cooling Fans
Air intake for the multiviewer is handled by six fans located near the front of the frame and
two heat sinks near the rear of the frame. The fans draw air into the frame through a grille
and filter in the front cover. The heat sinks help to exhaust air out through grates on either
side (see diagram, above).
IMPORTANT
The Kaleido-X16 multiviewer requires a constant flow of cooling air during
operation. DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT IF THESE FANS ARE NOT WORKING. If
a fan is not working contact your next level of support.
Power Supply Cooling Fan
Each PSU has one fan located on its front. Each PSU draws air through the frame’s front
grille, through the PSU, then out to the closest rear fan to be exhausted out the side of the
frame (see diagrams, above and below):
PSU fan on front of PSU A
Air Filter
Cooling air drawn into the Kaleido-X16 frame by the ventilating fans passes through a filter
located behind a grille in the front cover of the frame.
For more information about cleaning the air filter, see Cleaning the Air Filter, on page 21.

RS-422
The Kaleido-X16 supports two RS-422 serial inputs over RJ-45 connectors. These inputs
allow the Kaleido-X16 to connect to external serial devices such as a router, production
switcher, or router controller.
Note: The Kaleido-X16’s two RS-422 ports each have an RJ-45 connector in
order to preserve space on a busy panel. The RS-422 interface specifies a
DE-9 connector, so if you are using this interface, you will require a
DE-9-to-RJ-45 adapter. Grass Valley supplies two adapter models, correctly
wired for this application: a straight adapter (part no. 1737-3000-102), and a
crossover adapter (part no. 1792-3700-100).
The pinout for the RS-422 signals on the Kaleido-X16’s RJ-45 connectors, and the wiring

Maintenance
Cleaning the Air Filter
Occasionally, the air filter has to be cleaned in order to maintain proper ventilation. The air
filter is located in the front cover of the Kaleido-X16 frame. The filter may be cleaned
without removing it from the cover.
To clean the air filter
1 Carefully remove the cover from the frame.
IMPORTANT
Risk of damage to CompactFlash card
Be careful not to damage the CompactFlash card as you remove the front
cover of the frame. Lift the cover directly away from the frame (i.e.: not up or
down).
2 Place the cover flat on a work surface with the inside facing up.
3 Using a vacuum cleaner with a brush nozzle to prevent scratching, vacuum the dust
from the inner side of the cover.
4 Turn the cover over and vacuum the outer side of it.
5 Reinstall the cover onto the frame.

1.Depending on the selected output resolution, on your display monitor’s tolerance, and on the
quality of the HDMI cable itself, a longer cable could be used, as long as the signal integrity is
maintained between the multiviewer, and the display monitor. For example, with a 1080p output
resolution, longer high-speed HDMI cables may require an HDMI booster.

Disposal and Recycling Information
Your Grass Valley equipment comes with at least one lithium button battery (Li-MnO2)
located on the main printed circuit board. The batteries are used for backup and should not
need to be replaced during the lifetime of the equipment.
Before disposing of your Grass Valley equipment, please remove the battery as follows:
1 Make sure the AC adapter is unplugged from the power outlet.
2 Remove the protective cover from your equipment.
3 Gently remove the battery from its casing using a blunt instrument for leverage such as
a screwdriver if necessary.
4 Dispose of the battery and equipment according to your local environmental laws and
guidelines.
WARNING
Be careful not to short-circuit the batteries by adhering to the appropriate
safe handling practices. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may
explode. Batteries may explode if damaged or overheated. Do not dispose of
batteries as household waste. Do not dismantle, open or shred batteries.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
The electrolyte of the batteries contains 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) (CAS
110-71-4, EINECS 203-794-9) above 0.1% by weight. DME is listed as a
Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) by the regulation (EC) No 1907/2006
of the European Parliament and of the Council. It is classified as a reprotoxic
of category 2 in the European Union. Accordingly, exposure to DME may
impair fertility and may cause harm to the unborn child. DME is also classified
as harmful by inhalation.
31
Disposal and Recycling Information
WARNING (continued)
Risk of exposure occurs only if the battery is mechanically or electrically
abused. The most likely risk is acute exposure when a cell vents. In the event
of a battery leak, do not allow battery liquid to come in contact with skin or
eyes. Seek medical help immediately in case of ingestion, inhalation, skin or
eye contact, or suspected exposure to the contents of an opened battery.
For more information about recycling, please contact Grass Valley.
